Weather in August
Temperature
Ogoja's coldest temperatures are experienced in August, with average high temperatures of 28.6°C (83.5°F) and lows of 22.5°C (72.5°F).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
